Lucas Neill has revealed that he remains in talks with a club outside of England regarding a possible contract, reports The Independent. The Australian international parted company with West Ham at the end of last season, with his deal at Upton Park having reached its conclusion.

Primera Liga outfit Atletico Madrid are now the favourites to secure his services, with Neill admitting he is close to making a decision on his future.

"I am in talks with a club outside England. It's a change from what I've been used to," said the former Blackburn and Millwall defender.

"A decision will take a lot of courage so that's why I've taken my time."
